I bought Blakes rail and need to upgrade the seats. I was going to use my Corbeau seats from my old rail but they are almost 5 years old and getting bad. I would like to get another set of Corbeau seats but can find any place that accepts paypal for payment. I found some Race Trim seats that look similar to the Corbeau seats but want to know if anyone has used them and if they are any good.

Here is a link to the seats I

Look in 4x4 mag you can get new seat covers for around 40 buck to go on the frames you have now it is easy to do
around 80 is better than around 400

I will be using Race trim seats in my new buggy. They appear to be of good quality however time will tell. I know Plumberbill has had them in his Buggy for a season and he likes them. Pat at LA products sells them for 150 each

I had PRP seats in the last buggy and have put RaceTrim in my 4 seater. I put the two brands side by side and couldn't find any differances! I have done alot of upholstering {family buissiness}. I would bet they are from same place -tags are only differance. My PRP's cost the same amount as did the Racetrim's. I loved the way they sat and rode- Racetrims feel the same!

Probably will have to lower the steering wheel we cut that bar and raised it up to fit him in there :lol: The pedals are adjustable but don`t know if there will go far enough?

I bought a set from that same guy off the Samba and they were shipped right away and I think they are great for the price. I bought the slider adjusters for both seats and they work great. Only mistake I made was getting the black cloth center section, should have got vinyl so they would clean easier.

The Corbeau seats I have are all vinyl and they are cracked badly around the stitching in the buckets. I was going to get the cloth centers just to try to stop that problem. Are they that hard to clean? Has the cloth held up so far besides getting dirty? One other bad thing I could see is when they get wet they will take longer than the

I don't have the car finished but yes they do get dirty easy and thats just with dirt in the garage. I like cloth better for street driving or comfort but to hose the mud off vinyl is the better choice. Just keep a passenger in the car and both seats will stay clean :wink:
